    Hi Looking for £200 collected (near Canterbury.) I thought I'd try to sell on RB before putting this bike on ebay. This site help me strip and clean the bike when I bought it a couple of years ago - but it's too small for long rides, comfortable ones anyway... The drivetrain is in amazing...

    Dawes Galaxy - original pannier rack - fit for purpose?

    Dawes Galaxy - Refurb - a few problems.
